Contrary to Mr. Hermann's experience, for over 2 years I've published a niche law blog called New York Business Divorce, it's become my primary source of new business and also a great way to "seal the deal" with clients referred through other means.

The "… relentless, mind-numbing, never-ending task of finding worthwhile material to publish," to which Mr. Hermann refers is an inexorable fact of life for every writer, amateur, professional, hard copy or blogtronic.
Deadlines (writers' Swords of Damocles) set by editors or self-imposed loom for all who need to churn out copy.
Remember that monthly newsletter that arrived in the snail- or e-mail with great fanfare and promise? It slowly mutated into a bi-monthly, and then a quarterly report. Finally, after the annual edition arrived, it quietly died.

I am an attorney and blogger - http://sf-injury-law-answers.com/ - as well as three other substantive blogs in the San Francisco Bay Area. What I would add to Hermann's article or warnings is that the benefit of blogging depends on the area of law in which you practice (i.e. where do your clients come from). I'm a personal injury attorney - I represent consumers and injury victims. My clients are normal folks who have had bad things happen to them. They often don't know any attorneys or lawyers. They are very likely to search for legal counsel on the Internet. And when they do, my blogs are a great way for them to find me. Blogs tend to rank better than websites due to fresh content and my blogs are also a good way of demonstrating my skills and focus to other attorneys. I agree, however, that they can be an enormous time commitment. So, in blogging as in most of life...Caveat Emptor.

First and foremost, personal injury claims are just that -- injuries. Thus our Firm relies on competent medical care providers to properly diagnose each personal injury and fully explain an injured party's prognosis; a diagnosis and prognosis are essential to our monetary evaluation of an injured client's claim.penney lawyer@sacramento personal injury

Personally I think there are many reasons why a lawyer needs a site. I would like to quote this significant phrase "If you’re thinking of launching a legal blog, have your eyes open. Once you launch a blog, you will face the relentless, mind-numbing, never-ending task of finding worthwhile material to publish. That burden begins on the day of your first post, and ends only the day you call it quits. I believe the reason why many people find blogging tiring is because they first try to "satisfy people" even before they can satisfy themselves". It all depends on whether you like to be famous or private. Of course "fame" requires bigger responsibility and people will be expecting more from you.

Hello Ashby.
I agree with what Herrmann's said thatonce you launch your blog, that would be the time you commit yourself to write and publish a well-written article. So, as a lawyer who wanted to think blogging is not a demanding task, think twice.

Hello Ashby. You just gave me an awesome idea. At first, I really don't like networking. People are not that open-minded about it. Thanks so much.

I drop a comment whenever I appreciate a article on a site or if I have something to contribute to the conversation. It is triggered by the fire displayed in the article I read. And after this post 301 Moved Permanently. I was moved enough to post a commenta response :) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it look as if like some of the remarks appear as if they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other social sites, I'd like to keep up with you. Could you list all of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

About Law Blog

The Law Blog covers the legal arena’s hot cases, emerging trends and big personalities. It’s brought to you by lead writer Jacob Gershman with contributions from across The Wall Street Journal’s staff. Jacob comes here after more than half a decade covering the bare-knuckle politics of New York State. His inside-the-room reporting left him steeped in legal and regulatory issues that continue to grab headlines.

A federal judge in Manhattan rejected a bid by the conservative advocacy group Citizens United to stop New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman from requiring that charities disclose to him their major donors.

Concerns about a gender gap in the legal profession tend to focus on issues like pay, billing rates and who makes partner. A new study by the American Bar Association looks inside the federal courtroom to see who's trying cases.
